In 1992, PUMA revolutionized the sneaker industry with the launch of the Disc – a shoe that boldly rejected the conventional shoelace concept.

Instead, the Disc featured a unique disc closure system that allowed for a customized and secure fit with just a twist of the wrist.

This innovative design quickly gained popularity among athletes and sneaker enthusiasts alike and became a defining symbol of PUMA’s commitment to pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo in footwear.
